There are many different types of monuments and memorials and oftentimes
people become confused with all of the possible choices. To help you
understand the differences between the various definitions, here are
brief descriptions of the more common types of monuments:

Standard Marker
This is the format currently
required by many cemeteries because of the ease it lends to the
landscaping process. Also known simply as a grass marker, this
type of memorial lies flat and is placed flush with the surrounding
ground. These markers come in a variety of sizes and can be customized
by our master craftsmen.

Bevel Marker
Similar to the standard marker, the bevel
version is slightly raised above the ground and is often
placed upon a small foundation. The above ground portion is usually
trapezoidal in shape, meaning that the face lies at a slight
downward angle. Like the standard marker, these memorials
come in various sizes and are customizable. Be sure to check
with your cemetery regarding their regulations concerning bevel
markers.

Monuments and Statuary
These types of memorials are larger
and more elaborate. Consequently, obtaining clearance from
a cemetery for their placement can be difficult. For instance,
most cemeteries require at least eight plots for a family name
monument to be placed. These memorials come in a wide array
of formats, shapes and sizes.
